“I’m a passionate advocate for MAGNET’s value – to its members and for the clients we serve.

My goal is to expand on the collaboration opportunities for MAGNET members. Through learning, sharing and supporting each other, we’ll define the next generation agency and network.”

Schermer believes MAGNET membership has been very beneficial to his agency, employees and clients. “It’s been a breath of fresh air to have joined this network after nearly 20 years in business. As an independent owner, I was seeking peers who would both challenge and support me as a leader. They’re my partners in a sense, helping to prepare me and SCHERMER for what’s ahead. On the board, I’ll get the chance to do the same for the entire network.”
